Beyond the Degree

This Content comes from our sub-ministry A Different Approach to College

While talking with my CollegePlus Coach recently he mentioned something that I want to share with you. The best college students are not those who get "good grades" but those who are doing something beyond and through the degree. In other words, how is your degree helping you live out your life calling right now?      When I was earning my degree, I was applying leadership, persuasion, and various other skills that I studied soon after I learned them. And while studying business and communication, I launched into starting a business and communicating through podcasts, speaking engagements, discipleship, books, articles, and webpages. How can you apply what you are learning? I love the things I have learned as I have applied, but just studying about doing what I'm called to do is boring. Living it out is where you begin to experience the fulfillment that so many are searching for. I'm not preaching a feel-good message, but the truth that when you do what God has created you to do that you feel His pleasure.       Check out more about CollegePlus Here

  This book was the most important and helpful book to me as I launched on the journey of earning a BA in Communications in an "untraditional" manner. The author, a former homeschooler, does a very thorough job of letting you know information that is literally worth $10,000's of dollars because that is how much you can save implementing these "uncommon" methods.
